Testo Marie La Cordelière - Fairport Convention
Testo della canzone Marie La Cordelière (Fairport Convention), tratta dall'album Fame and Glory
On the tenth of August 1512
We passed the headland west of St. Mathieu
English Galleons, fifty strong
English Galleons
And so it was that I did see
The finest ship I'd ever seen
Belle Marie La Cordeliere
Belle Marie La Cordeliere
She was so fine
Such a sight to see
Sailing high
On the summer sea
And I am proud to say that I have seen
Belle Marie La Cordeliere
And when the Breton captain he did see
The English flags out on the reach
He cried, "Weigh the anchors high
And we will fight
Weigh the anchors high"
And the Belle Marie came sailing proud
Two hundred cannons shining on her side
Fifteen hundred men prepared to die
Fifteen hundred men
She was so fine
Such a sight to see
Sailing high
On the summer sea
And I am proud to say that I have seen
Belle Marie La Cordeliere
Belle Marie La Cordeliere
Well the battle raged for many an hour
Till the decks ran red with blood
And we breached her side
And then the captain cried
"Though we may die
We'll not surrender her"
Across the heaving deck he ran
In each hand a blazing brand he bore
Into the powder store
And he blew her high
He fired the powder store
She was so fine
Such a sight to see
Sailing high
On the summer sea
And I am proud to say that I have seen
Belle Marie La Cordeliere
Belle Marie La Cordeliere
Belle Marie La Cordeliere
